TERRIBLE DISASTER IN A' JA- PANESE OIL WORKS. p------ An Avalanche of Snow Submerged the Buildings and Fire Im- mediately Broke Out--Eighty Bodies Recovered--Four Alive. Tacoma, Wash., March 25. ~The steamship Duke of Fife, which arrived just night, brings news of a terrible and unprecedented disaster at the Chiro petrolenm works, the big re finery establishment at Katsunosawa, near (iigatia, on the west coast of Japan, which involved the loss of ful ly 200 lives. The works were located under the brow of a steep hill, and there had been a heavy fall of snow. Suddenly a huge avalanche thundered down from the sheer height of 600 feet crushing and burying the oil works, buildings, tanks, reservoirs, offices amd work people's dwellings. Part of the place was completely submerged; in another portion the vools were crushed in and buildings shattered. This caused an outbreak of fire, which reached the oil and spread with awful rapidity through that part of the building less heavily buried. Up to the time of the latest tele grams received at Yokohama eighty bodies had been dug out terribly injur- ed and barely alive. The total num- ber buried and burned was not ascer- tained, but the superintpndent of works placed the number of fatalities at not fewer than 200. Thorough Canadian Justice. Chicago British-Anwcican. We oe cordially with the Edmon- ton "Bulletin in praising the - even- handed justice meted out to eriminals in Canada and the tireless persistency with which crime is tracked out hy Canadian. officers. Among the hun dreds of American citizens who went to alberta last spring were two voung men, one completely, the other com- paratively, unknown on the Cana dian side. Shortly after one of the men returned to the United States algne. Some time later, in o sparsely settled part of the country, near Bat tle Lake, the body of a man was found buried in a shallow grave The body was partially decomposed, and no clue of importance was found. Corpl. Hetherington, of the north west mounted police, took up the elue and following slender threads of evi dence concluded that the body was that of the unknown American. For months he ransacked the western states in search of additional evidence and finally arrested in a western tows the companion' of the unknown man The prisoner was brought to Alberta and witnesses were secured from southern Alberta, Michigan and Wyo The culmination of the case was the sentence of death passed on C. B. Bullock, to be fulfilled on April 2th. The pursuit and punishment of the murderer is not more creditable to the ingemuity and perseverence of Corpl. Hetherington than to the spirit of justice which backs ip Cana- dian officers in the detection and punishment of crime. edi andes Fake Wild Man, Athan ot i Valdosta, March 17--The wild man from South America, with horns like an ox, and tusks like a wild boar came to grief in this city after his rformance last night. After the ex- ibition he discarded "hix "native" garb and went to a negro hall to at- tend an entertainment. He became in- volved in a quarrel there and pulled his gun and fired iu off to frighten his antagonist. A policeman in that neighborhood "pulled" wild man, whose name was given as Calvin Byrd, His arrest dis closed one of the most novel fakes ever seen here. Byrd is a ginger-color- ed negro and has had an incision made in his head and a thin piece of metal slipped under the skin. Attach- ed to this piece of metal are two threaded knobs to which large horns are gerewed, giving an appearance as though « the horns grew from his head. On his eye teeth are large threaded gold erowns to which are screwed the tusks when Byrd goes on exhibition. Rigged up as the wild man from Sonth America he' was a capi- tal attraction.

New York Sun, Melbourne bas always been the lar gest city of Australia. ln its pheno- menal growth it ean be compared only with Chicago and San Francisco. Jn 1535 it had a name and fgurieen inhabitants: in 1506 it contained 451 - 0) persons. Gold wade Melbourne, For ten consecutive years the . gold mines from sixty to one hundred miles to the north. and north-west, produc ed over £50,000,000 of gold every year. ; The many thousands of men required | ta mine this treasure bought. their | supplies. in Melbourne and spent their money there. The city faced to the worth where the mines were; its back door was on the sea. But the gold mines of Vietorig have lost their old importance. They awe still productive, but their yield is, far inferior to that of the desert mines of Western Australia, Melbourne is slow- ly losing the largest . resource that made her great and the wool ani wheat trade is not likely to fully com pensate her wre the declining mining unterests, The city was said in 1891 to have 490,596 population, including the suburbs. Five years later only 151,000 persons were counted in the city and its environs. 'The decline in population is prob: ably only temporary, for Victoria is a very rich little state. Many miners have been drawn away by more fiat tering prospects elsewhere, but they will gradually be replaced by perman- ent astilers. The great city, however, seems de stined soom to. lose its pre-eminence. Sydney is steadily incrgasing in po- pulation; hy the last census it was under Melbourne's fig- ures, Sydney is growing while Mel bourne is scarcely holding her own. There are a number of reasons why Sydoey will probably forge ahead and permanently maintain its lead among Australian cities. One reason is because Sydney is on east coast where the largest popula- tion and the greatest development of industries are found. Vessels in the foreign trade cannot visit all the live- ly little ports along this coast and =o Sydney is a forwarding and receiving ort for the trade of that entire coast Melbourne's commerce, on the other and, is largely confined to the little ate of Victoria. It is not a great istributory and in this respect Syd ey has the advantage. Then, again, Sydney faces the Paci- fic ocean with its myriad islands, whose inhabitants, for 2,000 miles, carry on more or less trade with the capital of New South Wales, but Mel bourne faces the Southern Indian ocean. which is destitute of islands. and therefore the capital of Vietoria has no island trade Another factor to the advantage of Sydney is thai, the immense coal fields of Australia are at her very doors and fuel is thus very easily, and cheaply obtained to feed her growing industries, Coal must be carried a longer distance Melbourne and thus her industrie re placed at a slight disadvant These are the sons why Sydney t importa rea- as at last become the terminal point of all the steam ship lines in the Australian foreign trade and why it is likely to take its place at the bead of Australian cities.

Church Should Take Hold Of Billiards. The Blacksmith, in Guelph Mercury When judge Price advocated having a smoking-room and a billiard-room in the basement of Sydenham street Methodist church, Kingston, there came, as might be expected, "a low murmur, born of astonishment from some of the older members of the church." Yet, when you come to think it over, there is something in the judge's su tion. I won't say much about having a "smoking room," hecause mamy people are con scientiously of the opinion that it is physically injurious, and you cannot reasonably expecta man io encourage that which he thinks is at least phy sically, if not morally, injurious. Bat the objection to billiards is simply born of a narrow-minded prejudice The game is a good ome It is one that requires a good eve, a steady hand and a scientific knowledge of angles, It has been depreciated by its past association with bad company, but the game is a good ove in itself, and being a good game, the church might lend a hand in bringing it into good company, which is its proper place. Ii a game is a good ome in it: self, physically and mentally, why should it be allowed to go by de fault into the devil's keeping ? If the devil shonld not have all the good tunes, as the great Wesley is reported to have said, neither should he have entire possession of good games, which, if taken in hand by the church, would' be a healthy and innocent means of drawing young men withi the precincts of the ¢ urch. Young men will play billiards and all the goody-goody talk in the world will not prevent them. Therefore, is it not Petter to take hold of that which is good in itsell and give it a proper setting ? Judge Price is not flirting with the devil when he desires the church to take hold of billiards. He is simply snatching something from the devil which the latter should never have been permitted to have in his exclusive keeping. ------ A Shower Of Chowder Materials. cial L Ne sili. Marc TE A remarkable story comes from the vicinity of loi lo, this county. On last Wednesday a country in that neighborhood, ( one mile long by bali a mile wide, was visited by a regular water spout. The rain came down in torrents, ac companied by a hard hailstorm. The water stood from four to eight inches on a level in places. The remarkable thing about the storm was the shower of turtles and small fishes which is re ported to have fallen The turtles were of the "Spanish snapper" vari ety, such as are found in the lakes of Cuba. They were alive, and one of them was shown to our correspondent They had brilliant coloring. The fish were from four to six inches in length This story is vouched for by reliable parties, who claim to have seen the fish-turtle shower. ---------- Their Common Failing.
